CONJOINED twins Abby and Brittany Hensel revealed new photos from their wedding with Army vet Josh Bowling in 2021.
The pictures come after the U.S. Sun captured the two showing off a newborn to friends late last month.

Abby, one of the twins, married US Army veteran Bowling in 2021, although their marriage wasn’t made public until 2024.
The two, alongside Bowling, seemed elated in multiple snaps uploaded to their joint TikTok account.
In one of the couple’s wedding photos, Abby and Brittany both giggle in their wedding dress as they hold hands with Bowling, who is standing face-to-face with the conjoined twins.
Another ceremony photo showed the twins holding a large bouquet as they pose with their husband, seemingly just after they had tied the knot.
“#abbyandbrittany #twins #marriage,” the post caption read.
Last month, The U.S. Sun photographed the twins, 35, carrying a baby car seat outside a school in Minnesota where they teach fifth graders.
They then jumped into their Tesla and rode off.
“They looked extremely tired during the visit, but they seemed happy to see their colleagues,” an eyewitness told the US Sun at the time.
“They struggled at times with the carrier.”
Abby and Brittany posted the snaps afterward, writing that they were “Blessed.”
Rumors erupted after they were seen carrying a carriage a month before their latest sighting, many speculating that the sisters had a baby with Bowling.
It isn’t confirmed that the baby is theirs.
The family currently lives in a $510,000 five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in St Paul.
The two rose to fame in 1996 after appearing on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show at just 6 years old.
What Are Conjoined Twins?
Conjoined twins are twins that are born with their bodies physically connected.
Such twins develop after an early embryo only partially separates to create two individual fetuses and this is usually diagnosed early in pregnancy with a prenatal ultrasound.
This happens once in every 50,000 to 60,000 births according to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The majority of these are female and most are still born.
The majority of conjoined twins are connected at the chest and abdomen, but others can be connected at the head, hips, pelvis, legs, or genitalia.
Conjoined twins often share one or more of the internal organs and this impacts survival rates and the success of separation surgery.
Twins with separate sets of organs are more likely to survive than those who share.
In one 2003 documentary, Joined For Life, the twins expressed their desire for being mothers.
After multiple documentaries and specials, TLC made a one-season show in 2012, titled Abby & Brittany, which chronicled their lives as conjoined twins.
Since the show, the sisters have kept a low profile.
Abby and Brittany have a rare condition called dicephalic parapagus, which happens once in every 50,000-60,000 births. Most of the babies are stillborn.
The women each have their own heads and brains, but are conjoined at the chest.
They each have their own heart, stomach and lungs.
Abby can control the right side of their body, while Brittany controls the left.
